VALLEY UPRISING (2014)

A documentary about the free-spirited rebels who pioneered the art of rock climbing in Yosemite National Park and the generations of climbers who came after to raise the bar.[Unrated]

If that trailer up there isn’t enough to get your palms sweaty, you, sir or madam, have cheetah blood in your veins. Just an awesome documentary that has energy to spare, more fantastic interviews than you can shake a stick at, and so many extraordinary stories to tell. Hard to say whether it’ll make you want to heed the call or avoid it entirely, but it is one easy recommendation regardless.

It’s not even listed on Rotten Tomatoes for some reason, so you’re just gonna have to trust me on this one. I’m thinking that shouldn’t be too hard.
